Christmas Town

There is no Christmas on Hallmark without Candace Cameron Bure. And she has a better than average movie this year. Losing her parents when she was young a teacher finds herself in a small town for Christmas and like the town and takes to a foster kid. There is a romance too but it's the secondary thing in this movie for a change.

This might possibly be my favorite hallmark Christmas movie to date. Candace Cameron Bure was her usual fabulous self, but what really got to me was the wonderful tale of foster care and adoption that was woven throughout this story. Don't worry there is plenty of Christmas activities and Christmas decorations...and a love story, but what made this "more" besides the well rounded cast creating what felt like honest friendship was the lesson about what makes a family and how important and special that is to a child in the foster care system. (FYI: Candace's hair looked fabulous in this film.) If you want a feel good Christmas movie that might make you cry, but in a good way...this could be the film for you!

Isn't anyone supposed to notice she has a cat that hasn't been fed since she started her trip and has no litter box? 😄😄

Candace Cameron Bure gave her best performance in this movie. She was a convincing character looking for more in life. Her life's challenges brought her to the perfect place with a special job to do to achieve a fulfilling life. The romantic lead of Tim Rozon was the exact balance to Bure's character. He was a striking, levelheaded man not the usual Hallmark hunks that are acting voids. Rozon's strong character and solid performance along with a caring Bure, makes you cheer for their characters Travis and Lauren to get it right. Dylan, Jesse Filkow, was the best young actor's performance this season. He was gutsy yet a kind and caring youth. The rest of the cast were superb.The setting of the town would make a Hallmark card proud. A terrific story presented in an even tone and does not over do it- A fine production. I will watch this movie again and it is now a Christmas favorite for years to come. A true Hallmark quality movie. Thank you.

We're fans of Candace Cameron Bure. My favorite of her Christmas movies is probably the one where she is a nurse who travels forward in time.

I just found this film to be uninspiring. I understand she had an awakening to family in the small town, and good for that character. However, nothing about the story carried enough weight or tension to involve my interest. Even her meeting with the cliched "break up ex" just wasn't there -- probably because no actor in the entire movie ever expressed any strong emotion -- and that's been a "Hallmark" of this year's Hallmark Christmas films.

This movie isn't a waste of time, if you had NOTHING better to watch, but it's not anything we'll care to watch a second time.
